Alright, so it’s not that exciting.  Yet.  Remember what I said about current means?  3D rendering takes quite a long time, and my current computer can’t handle it that well which means I’ll be upgrading (or borrowing) resources.  I’d like to point out the silver lining within this video though – this is actual data for elevation and location.  Stata wrote this.  Stata also wrote these mountains below.
